2002 Allemand, Cornas:

12.5%, no vineyard designates this year; reticent nose of raspberry and earth; dilute palate but with good balance and character that is of its place; without concentration or depth; medium, fully ready finish. Drink now. About $35.

Nothing to write home about but pleasant accompaniment to sausage ragu.

Best, Jim

I'll have to check that one out. I love a nice Cornas but my experience with about ten or so bottles of various Cornas this year, is that they need a few years. If you can get it, 5+ years. They seem a little wicked and thorny in their youth but a nicely aged bottle can be a stunner. The 1999 Paul Jaboulet Cornas is a monster right now.
